Oven Cleaning
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
•Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven manually.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
Porcelain Enamel Oven
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1.Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2.If soil remains, use a
3.Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, the small area at the front center of the oven bottom and the oven vent exit (located below the backguard). Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1.DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2.DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3.DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
General Cleaning
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
To Remove and Replace Oven Door
1.Open the door to the fully opened position.
2.Pull up the lock located on each hinge support and engage it in the hook of the hinge lever. You may have to apply a little downward pressure on the door to pull the locks fully over the hooks.
3.Grasp the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.
4.Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the appliance to completely disengage the hinge levers.
5.To reinstall the oven door, reverse steps 1 through 4. Make sure the hinge supports are fully engaged before unlocking the hinge levers.
